Overpraise (7)

I believe the answer is:

adulate

(Other definitions for adulate that I've seen before include "Worship" , "Praise excessively" , "Praise obsequiously" , "Flatter excessively" , "Excessively admire" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the LA Times, the Ink Well xwords and the Newsday.com.
